u Page -3- This property fronts on both North "L" Street and Fieldcrest Drive. Both faces of this property will be subject to front setback requirements. As drawn on the site plan, the "future Sunday School Annex" has a "front" setback of twenty (20) feet. There is more than adequate room to shift all the proposed improvements ten (10) feet south in order to achieve setback compliance for the Sunday School Annex. (See Exhibit C). Setback compliance will be confirmed by the Certified Site Plan. Regarding the specific conditions listed in the background section of this report. Section 5-800: Screening: The purpose of the ordinance's screening requirements is to improve the aesthetic appearance of a site by obscuring from view buildings and areas, that are unsightly or architecturally incompatible with the surrounding area. Parking lots of religious facilities are subject to screening requirements. Rather than requiring a solid landscape screen which could lead to security problems, the City will require a planting plan which will intersperse trees and low plantings. The "screening" will count towards the six per cent (6%) landscaping requirement of Section 5-200, Table B. A landscape plan, to be approved by the Director of Community Development is a normal component of the Certified Site Plan. Traffic Control: This paragraph states: The traffic generated by a use shall be channelized and controlled in a manner that will avoid congestion on public streets, safety hazards, or excessive traffic through low density residential areas. The traffic generated will not raise traffic volumes beyond the capacity of the surrounding streets. Vehicular access points shall be limited, to create a minimum of conflict with through traffic movements, and shall be subject to the approval of the Director of Community Development.
